Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate and Vietnam Theme Week.
Today's Brazil Nuts & Date Slats 70% Vietnam dark chocolate with Brazil nuts and dates "slats" were from The Organic House (Burlington, ON, Canada) -- bean-to-bar (and confection) craft chocolate makers.
The cacao used to make this bar was from Vietnam.
Aroma notes for these substantial chocolate shards included: chocolate; sweet (dried) fruit (date); and very faint (pomegranate) molasses, nut and biscuit.
Texture: thick bites of dark chocolate; softly crunchy Brazil nuts pieces; and softly chewy slices of date.
I enjoyed the hearty flavors and textures. The 70% dark chocolate had a hearty satisfying taste with balanced bitterness. And the rich, sweet dates and classic, very slightly earthy Brazil nut flavors harmonized well with this Vietnam dark chocolate. And, the coconut flower nectar added some brown sugar like warmth.
I appreciated the short list of quality, organic ingredients and single origin (Vietnam) 70% dark chocolate. This was much more flavorful and fun than most chocolate bark with fruit and nut confections (that I find so sweet that I can barely taste any of the ingredients, other than the refined sugar(s)).
